Deuteronomy 29:16-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ For you know how we dwelt in the land of Egypt, and how we have passed through the midst of nations, and passing through them,

¹⁷ You have seen their abominations and filth, that is to say, their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which they worshipped.

¹⁸ Lest perhaps there should be among you a man or a woman, a family or a tribe, whose heart is turned away this day from the Lord our God, to go and serve the gods of those nations: and there should be among you a root bringing forth gall and bitterness.
